Jam Stack Box

Overview

JAMStackBox is a self-hosted continuous deployment solution specifically designed for GatsbyJS websites. This tool simplifies the process of deploying static websites by automating builds in a controlled Docker environment upon receiving a POST request. By leveraging GitHub repositories, users can seamlessly integrate their projects and ensure stable, repeatable builds, all while enjoying the flexibility of a self-hosted solution.

With the rise in popularity of static site generators, JAMStackBox stands out as an efficient choice for developers looking to streamline their deployment workflows. While it’s currently under development and oriented towards GatsbyJS, the framework is open for contributions, inviting users to expand its capabilities to accommodate other static site generators.
